Libby's Baptism

Last Saturday (the 3rd) was another special day for us as it was Libby's baptism. She was very excited and quietly giddy about her special day. She looked beautiful in her white dress and in her baptism outfit. She wore the baptism outfit that my mom made and that I wore when I was baptized. It has also been worn by many of my cousins, nieces and Eliza. Libby's baptism was part of stake baptisms and there were two other kids that day being baptized. Everyone met together for the beginning part, then we separated by ward for the baptism and confirmation part. Brian baptized her and then I helped her get ready. My mom was in there, too, to take the wet clothes while I helped Libby get dressed. While in there, she gave Libby her "daughter of a king" bracelet. In there my mom said to her, "The key now that you are all clean is to make sure you don't do anything wrong!" Matter of factly, Libby replied, "That is why we have the sacrament." It was cute. While we were in there getting ready, one of our favorite babysitters--Kaitlyn--played some of Libby's favorite songs on the piano while everyone wrote a note to Libby that we put in a little album.

After she was ready, we went into the Primary room for the rest of the program. My dad gave a great talk about the Holy Ghost and at the end gave Libby a cute little blanket to remind her of the Comforter. The last part was her confirmation and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. It was a really special day and we were so pleased with Libby being baptized.

After everything was over, we went to our house and had some family over for some food and desserts. What a great day!
